The City of Toronto recently launched a new pilot project called the Home Energy Loan Program (HELP), which means 1,000 homes can be retrofitted over the next three years to help make them more energy and water efficient. This helps homeowners replace bad windows, add more insulation or replace an old inefficient furnace. For example, they will check a home’s HVAC system to make sure it’s working efficiently, given the weather conditions and temperature.Īnother great government initiative is financing for energy-efficient home renovations or retrofits.
Plus, some companies, such as Pure Energies, will also monitor other systems in the home that affect energy efficiency. Solar leasing also saves homeowners the trouble of maintaining or repairing the system - solar experts check and monitor the system for them. Solar panels can’t generate electricity when it’s cloudy or dark, but solar leasing allows households to pull energy from the power grid, having fed it with solar power when it was sunny.
